Teddi Mellencamp Says She Is Now Cancer-Free

Teddi Mellencamp says she is just grateful they caught it in time.

The 41-year-old former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star revealed that she has been diagnosed with stage 2 melanoma in October but had successful surgery.

“Pathology is back— the surgeries were successful and the margins are clear,” Teddi shared.

“I also got genetic testing results and there are no mutations we need to worry about,” she continued on Instagram. “And I just had a healthy mammogram (please don’t forgo these either, ladies). So I say peace out to 11 melanomas and 3 lymph nodes— I gladly hardly knew ya— and hello to a new sense of peace.”

“When I was waiting for the results, I was pretty emotional,” Teddi told People. “I had to look at my family and be like, ‘Listen guys, I’m crumbling today. I love you all so much, but mommy’s not going to be her best self today.’”

“During the pandemic, we avoided things that we thought weren’t essential. But skin checks are essential.” Teddi now really urges others to “stay on top of all those other appointments that we let slide, like colonoscopies and mammograms.”
